get messy thursdays | season of words | week three

Happy Thursday! I have a few journal entries for you this week: 

Have you ever created a blackout poem? I absolutely loved this entire process. Here's how my poem turned out:

I haven't had a wink of sleep.

Annoyed, thinking I should be free at last. Ugh!

Invent something, little girl.

Changes

Contempt.

Denying, never.

Truthful child, believe it.

That's all I can say.

New idea, opportunity.

You're looking.

IT MATTERS.

I absolutely love it!

I'm also loving my other spread for this week:

All of us at Get Messy have been cutting windows into our journals this week. Tuesday night, my spread was completely finished, but the window was empty. I was at a total loss as to what to do with it. First thing the next morning, I realized that I needed a mirror! I bought this plastic mirror sheet from my local craft store; it was easy to cut and adhere to the backside of my little window.

This was me trying to get a photo of myself in the mirror. Ha!

The song lyrics are from Lucius' Wildewoman (I was introduced to Lucius last summer, as they were the opening act for Sara Bareilles. I've loved them ever since).

Have a great day!
